Poetry
دیوان
Not translated into English
Synopsis
The Persian divan of Mohammad-Amin Andalib, who died at twenty, son of the poet Gholam-Mohammad Tarzi. The Encyclopaedia Iranica notes it for a specific reason: despite so short a life, he left an entire collection, in the line of a father whom the same encyclopaedia presents as an important follower of Bidel.
Context
The Encyclopaedia Iranica names Andalib just after his father, Gholam-Mohammad Tarzi, whom it regards as an important poet and a disciple of Bidel, and notes that he left a divan despite his short life. His father had printed in Karachi, in 1893, a divan many of whose ghazals respond to Bidel and Saeb, nearly twenty years after the son's death; the Iranica thus brings together two generations of the same family of poets.
Who it is for
Poems in Persian, with no translation. It is better to know a little of Bidel's manner, which the author's family follows.
Prizes and reception
No prize. The encyclopedia mainly notes that a poet with so short a life left a complete collection.
